Great single vineyard BdB from the Mont Aigu parcel in Chouilly, just near the Cramant border- with leftover sandwiches and out of a plastic cup. Next stop SFO! — 12 years ago
2013 - Clairette (30%) Bourboulenc (30%) Roussanne (25%) Grenache Blanc(14%) Picpoul blanc et Picardan (1%), fermented in steel tanks. Refined with a spicy touch, elegant and floral note, it as like this salty touch also and nice acidity. A great wine. — 11 years ago
At No 3 with my team. Ex-1ere tranche stock released earlier this year (2014)...awaiting the 2nd one in January 2015. I had the Perlant 1969 in August. I am a strong believer in numbers so I put together the 1969 demi sec and the 1989 Close Bourg Moelleux 1ere trie from the veneered domaine Gaston Huet in Vouvray. The main difference lies in the style as opposed to vineyard characteristics, the vintage of course can add extra punch...the moelleux having a more opulent charm, roundness and melting aspect - dryer (though) on the finish. Its sister vineyard wine being more incisive, waxy (hair/wood Lacker pugency) a bit vegetal (cooked Brussels Sprouts). Drier as Demi-Sec by definition, leaner, sharper with a hint of nuttiness towards the finish. Great comparative tasting. — 12 years ago

2008: lemon peel, white and yellow flowers, white peach, and honey. I'm not faintly mineral, much broader than Le Mont. green grape and acacia blossom. Perfect harmony between acidity and light sweetness, quite racy and tight, but lashings of honey, lemon cheesecake, and wet stones. Very good. — 11 years ago
